LSJ S/C install on 2.2LAP

I've recently fell into a partial LSJ kit. Comes with the M62 S/C with 2.9" pulley (3.35 stock), LSJ throttle body, intercooler pump and manifold. Anyone have any experience with this mod? tips? what not to do's? I know I still need PCM, heat exchanger and piping, serp belt. anything else recommended? AEM wide band air/fuel? I'm fairly new to boost other than my old GP GTP

Re: LSJ S/C install on 2.2LAP

do you have a link to that specific kit? ... supercharging the car you'll need to pull a bunch of timing, then have a pro tune it... it costs me $100 in credits, and i can write to your car etc. but i would recommend looking for an HP tuners software used somewhere. then you can scan, modify tunes, etc as you need to... not that you'll be a tuner, but you can have someone like brian herter, or steve williams (tuned by frost) email you a tune or if something funky goes on you can scan and email.

you may want a stronger than stock tensioner, how much boost will that pulley give you... your a 2.2 motor? what's your compression ratio?

Just like an N/A car, air in and air out makes more power. so if you can upgrade your throttle body size, do so, most positive displacement S/C's pick up real well with better intake piping and a bigger throttle body.

AEM is an ok wide band, most tuners love NGK ( and it has a branch here in WV too) the other big one Innovate motorsports.

Thanks for the input fellas... I was looking at that kit as well. I've dealt with ZZP before, when I had my old GTP, and they were great. with reading through some of the Tech notes on that kit, paying the extra $$$ for the entire thing, with the throttle body extensions, and not having to relocate everything in the front end, is gonna be worth it. I thought the transition from the LSJ to my LAP would be easier, but actually sounds like its going to be incredibly difficult and unnecessary. Not real fond of the idea of converting all of my pulleys to 6 rib and relocating everything. Not to mention they say that 3.1" pulley will make 9psi in the 2.2, I'm thinking the 2.9" will be a bit much for stock internals.

"the m62 can be maxed out to around 18psi for short bursts with a 2.8" pulley"

The LAP is a 2.2 L—2,198 cc (134.1 cu in)—version of the Ecotec, based on the Gen II block with cylinder head improvements, new camshaft design, E37 engine control module, 58X crankshaft reluctor ring, digital crank and cam sensors, individual coil-on-plug ignition, vented starter solenoid, new MAP sensor, new intake manifold seals, new oil filter element, a 32-bit computer, and improved emissions performance.
Bore and stroke are 86 mm (3.4 in) and 94.6 mm (3.72 in), the same as the 2.2 L L61. Compression ratio is 10.0:1. Major features that set it apart from the 2.2 L L61 are variable-valve-timing and other cylinder head improvements from the 2.4 L LE5.
